If Emma isn't supposed to call Mary Margaret Mary Margaret because that sounds too formal but she doesn't feel comfortable calling her Mom, then what's she supposed to call her?  Mary (as in The Mother)?  M. (could be confused with a short form of Emma's own name)?  M.M. (one O away from Mom)?  Hmmm…  I'm just gonna

Oh, no doubt about it, Once IS Lost, especially this season.  This episode is even titled "Lost Girl."  (It's not supposed to be referring to Emilie de Ravin, but boy could it be.)

Peter Pan's To Do List:
1.  Unlock Emma's resentment at her parents' abandoning her.
2.  Unlock Henry's resentment at his parents' abandoning him.
3.  Arrange for Emma and Henry to "bond" over shared resentment.
4.  Kill Charming.
5.  Kill Snow.
6.  Use the heart of the truest believer to do some big important thing.
7.  …

I agree.  This ep was really, really boring.

When Varrick said he had the perfect job for Bolin, I swore he was gonna make him a politician.  Mover star makes sense too, though.

Meelo/lemurs.  So much inappropriate laughter!  :-)

It bugs me that the newsreel style-presented recaps, which you might think would be common knowledge in-universe (like the news), are not common knowledge in-universe at all.

Damn!  Bolin is built.  Too bad his character in the movers is named Nut Tuck, I mean Nuktuk.

I found myself needing the relative calmness and lightness of the airbenders' plot to break up the Korra-ness of the main plot.

The biggest surprise of the night for me was that Spirit Valium did not work, not because I never considered that Unalaq was using it to his advantage but because Korra attempted to use it in the Avatar State.  Maybe she has control over this state already, so when she told her Avatar State self to use Spirit Valium,

Like many viewers, I shared Emily's sentiments.  As this episode went on, I found myself disliking Korra more and more and, inversely, liking Mako more and more.

Korra definitely didn't die when she got eaten by that water spirit.  I would imagine that this means that the victims taken in the first minutes of "Rebel Spirit" may also still be alive.

"But at this point in the show Katherine hasn't been cured yet…"  Duh.  Good point.  The chronology confused me for some reason.

Reggie as Larry's lover.  Discuss.

Larry's hat is made from real polar bear.  Don't tell anyone; tell everyone.

"Bond.  Bond Bond."

So, basically, The Neighbors should be more Third Rock from the Sun?  I could get behind that.

I wouldn't mind seeing more of Jackie's Salsa Castle coworker.  I loved Jackie's expression when he said that he, too, sometimes imagined that she was divorced.

The Practice's "The Return of Joey Heric"

Does Klaus not know that there is a human doppelganger now?  Does he or does he not want to make more hybrids?  Has he realized that he should be able to turn his biological offspring into a hybrid with some doppelganger blood (you know, because, legacy or something)?
